The Wilmington Clothing House, J. W
Diefendorf, manager, has developed the fact
that they can compete with houses OF larger
cities in that they obtained the contract to
make twenty-five pair of pants for the Phex
invlle Military Band, notwithstanding the
fact that Philadelphia houses bid for the
same. This is due in great part to the fact
that the ability of the cutter Mr.. Thos. F

Died of Dtsarpe!ntmsnt.

WASHINGTON, March Is. - John B.
Luce of Arkansas, brother Of Rear Ad-
miral Luce, died in this city yesterday of
general debility and exhaustion, supposed
to have resulted from his long struggle in
advocacy of the celebrated CCOctaw
claim. He has been heavily interested in
this claim since 1852, and has consumed
all mis- private fortune in its prosecution.
Some months ago the Supreme court
rendered judgment in favor OF the
claimants, but the last Congress refused
to appropriate the amount, more than
s., 900. 900, and it is believed that this
last reverse has caused the. death OF Mr..
Luce. r

of talk will ever convince him that there
is ANYTHING wrong about it. The thing,
then, for the people to do is to have
little more care in selecting their repre-
sentatives.
II it were found that nin6-tent5s OF the
members Of Congress were druggists, and
that every act they passed resulted in
some mysterious way in Increasing she
price of medicines, il is altogether likely
that toe voters of every party would see
10 il that the representation was changed
in some respects. That 10 Just what
must be done with the lawyers. There
are too many of them in Washington.
They are not cessary there. The gov
eminent can be carried on without them.
They have pushed themselves forward IN
til the people have good natureGly come
10 consider them Indispensable. NOW they
have taken advantage Of this Comp.scency
and are attempting to make the world be-
lieve tina. it IS g great injustice to deny
them the right . act for the corporations
as well as for the people. When 100 or
more Of these men have been Unseated
they will discover that their usefulness as
attorneys for the subsidized roads grew
out 81 the fact that they had seats in Con-
gress. Any further comment upon the
morality Of their service would be IN
necessary. Perhaps they would then 1e

an Elevated Railroad Man.

Rufus Blodgett, Democrat, was
elected United States Senator in a joint
meeting Of the New jersey Legislature on
March 2. It was the result Of RepublI-
can votes being cast with the Democrats.
Mr.. Blodgett was born in Dorchester, N.
A., in 1884. He was m&chinist by trade
and worked at it for some years in his
native state. Twenty years ago he re-
moved to New Jersey. and went into the
service Of the New Jersey Southern Rail-
road Company. Soon afterwards he be-
came its superintendent. A few years
ago he was made superintendent Of the
New York and Long Branch, over whose
tracks the Pennsylvania and the New
Jersey Central roads run by mutual
agreement. Mr.. BlOdgett has been in the
New Jersey Assembly and was candidate
for governor last fall, being defeated by
the present executive, +. S Green. His

side of the Texas and Pacific, now
run IN these directions and
connect many of the cities
disposed to back the new projects. The
one exception noted above is q Combina-
ton of tgO Lives or systems and must
challenge the ;miration Of all shreWd rail
road men and engineers as q grand
scheme, CERTAIN to prove cminentIy sue
cessful. One OF these systems is
the Fort Worth and Denver, which
is building to the northwest, with Den
yer as its objective point. The rosd
passes through rich farming country,
covers the finest pasturage region of the
state Of Texas, reaches into the mineral
section and, passing into Colorado, heWs
out its way in mountains Of the most
magnificent coal. This road, with
that prince of engineers and
able executive, General Dodge, behind
it. is now being rapidly built and will be
ready for business between its terminal
points in eighteen months. The other
read in this great "acrosS country" sys-
TEN is the Fort Worth and Southeastern,
8 rOad that will pass through a country
on nearly air line that has exactly what
the other section traverSed by
the Fort Worth and Denver lacks, that IS
virgin forests of pine and other woods
and a deep water port at New Orleans.
The first link in the Fort Worth and
Southeastern is quilt in the shape of the
Fort Worth and New Orleans to
Waxahachie, owned by Messrs. Hunt
ington, Stanford and Croker, three
men who control unlimited capital
and who are the peers of any combination
in these United States. DIR. Huntington
has considered the extension Of his line
from WaXahGchie along route set forth
in these columns st different times.
This southeastern line will connect with
the Southern Pacific system at Wood
Vile Or will be built through
and beyond that point to a connection il
Louisiana. The work of construction
could doubtless be expedited by prompt
and united action on the part of the cities
interested. Let the facts ana figures
be forwarded TO Mr.. Huntington,
let the cities and the country
precincts show the syndicate in practi-
Cal manner that they Wsnt, and can and
viii support such road, and that good
Will result. Great systems are coatem-
plated and projected, but the one men
toned above is the greatest Of al.

! by the sight Of procession
that, except il size, differed
only in few minor details
from any ordinary funeral. Last evening
the master Of ceremonies estimated that

Whether the absence Of the anarchist
wid0wer dampened the enthusiasm, or
the fact thai the police were taking eX-
Itra0rdinaTy precautions to queH disorder
had like effect, TIE demonstration fell far
short OF its promoters predictions.

Mrs. Parsons Was also absent, and Dr.

None OF the unCOuth demonstrations
who formed so prominent an element at
the Haymarkot meeting could be seen to-
day either IL the procession Or the multi
tudes that viewed it. The prohibition
Of red flags was scrupulousIy observed.
Few banners were carried and they were
furled and tOtSlly hidden in black drap-
ing. Not dozen mourners were in uni

music in the procession. Policemen
were almost wholly kept out Of sight and
the entire affair WAS characterized by an
extraordinary SOmber deCOrum.

Cincinnati! Enquirer.
Many Of the females have become
mothers, and the most interesting feature
yesterday was to watch the various ways
in which the maternal instinct or care
was manifested. In cage with the man
drills and huge r&inboW-hued balloons,
whose Variegated hues in the dazzling
sunlight no painter can portray, are con-
fined several MRCaIques. One Of the fe-
males Of the latter family some two
months since became mother, and the
lttle'shayer is just old enough to be in
teresting. As the cage was approached
the mother, with the young one
clDging to her breast holding on
to the hairs, jumped from a
horizontal bar in the middle of
the cage to the parallel upright bars in
front, and sliding down, mother and
daughter sat on their launches peering
out. The mother monkey never lets the
daughter move but few inches from heT
side, pulling her by the tail when she
goes too lar. Sometimes the other mon
keys annoy the mother, but the male man
drill soon settles them, for he Sc ms to
have taken g great fancy to the little fell
low and has taken him under his especial
attention, and as he is the terror Of the
monkey world AID one Of the ugliest ami
mails at the Garden, his word is law and
the mother for the most part is unmolest-
ed. She sat on her launches and relished
the pieces of pretZels that were passed
through to her, but the daughter was
not Old enough TO take nOurishment that
way.
The j8guar, which has kid about three
months old, resents the intrusion of any
impairment eyes, and if the little fellow
has crawled to the front OF the cage, and
a visitor looks too sharply, pulls it snap
pingiy back with her sharp left paw.
When visitors come in numbers she
SEXES it in Ter mouth and carries it to the
extreme rear of the cage, drops it in
the darkness and straw and quickly comes
with glazing eyes and Cat-Iike tread to
the bars, showing her sharp teeth with as
much as 20 say: mo, you shan't nave
it," Considering that she has eaten up
three filters before. such precautiOn seems
slightly superfuOus.
che leOpardess Lucy has also a young
one that she has manifested SO strong G
desire TO eat up that the little girl Kittie,
who news for her halt pound of chopped
beef like a kitten, had to be removed to
the adjoining cage, with Tom, her father,
whose fondness for his daughter is so
great that he allows her to take the meat
out of his mouth. Kittie is five months
old, and about as large as q cat, with
sharp, cold gray eyes, and spots that are
darker than either those of her sic Or
dam. At night the cub sleeps with the
mother.

All who know Judge Bleckley and re-
call his long, waving hair and beard viii
appreciate this story: He YVES on his
way to the Supreme court one morning,
when he was accosted by a little street
gamin, with an exceedingly dirty face,
with the customary "shiDe, em?" He
was importunate, and the Judge, being
impressed with the oppressive uGtidiness
of the boys face, said: II don't want 3
shine, but if you will 90 wash your face
III give you dime" "AlI right, sir. 5"
"Wen, let NE see you do it' The boy
went over to an artesian hydrant and
made his ablution. Returning, he held
out his hand for the dime. The Judge said:
"Well, sir, you've earned your money;
here it is" The boy said: 81 don't
want your money, old fellow; you take it
and have your hair cut" saying which he
scampered of. The Judge thought it so
good a story that he told it on himself.

visitor left yesterday for San Diego.
Mr 4. S. Douglass, Master Mechanic of
the Texas and Pacific at Big Springs, was
in the city yesterday on business connect
ed with his department. He says the Rio
Grande division is rapidly being placed in
drSt-cIaSs condition and that the through
business now being done is large. Mr..
Douglass says there has been
some intimacion that the time
on the Rio Grande division
might soon be changed to connect with
the train that brings the postal matter
from the fast mail, which leaves ST.
Louis this morning. It would be an easy
matter he thinks to lessen the time four
hours from Fort Worth to Sierra Blanca
if necessary. 4 fine flow from the great
artesian well here, Mr.. Douglass says,
will do q great deal for the Texas and
Pacific shops ct this point. He feels con
fdent that when the casing comes the

The movement of cattle by rail Will be
enormous this year, aud will begin before

lions for the business, aud from what can
be learned the Cattlemen will have bet

St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas

John II. Reagan of Texas will be the only
farmer in the Senate of the United States
after March 4 next. In the last census
year there were in this country 1900, 900
farmers and Ga, 900 lawyers.
Government by la Eyers in g republic
which might as well be governed BIZ
editors, dentists, or physicians was well
illustrated the other day in
the Senate when bill forbid
ding members of that body from
acting as attorneys for land grant
and other subsidized corporations was
emasculated SO as to mean nothing before
it could receive 3 majority vote. No rea-
son can be advanced why lawyer should
not have as good claim on the American
people for the honor of holding their
Offices as any other man, unless be shall
forfeit il himself by his acts. The atti-
tude of the lawyers in the Senate respect
ing Mr.. Beck's attorney bill amounted tC
such forfeiture, and was an announce
ment to the people that, as legal ethics
are nov construed, the lawyer is not fl
man 10 hold all the offices.
This conclusion is the more Irresistible
because every lawyer in the Senate ex-
pressly declared, when the Be cz bill was
under consideration, thar be thought it a
great hardship that men in his profession
should be prohibited from its practice
simply because they were IN the govern
ment service. 1t will be useless to argue
the point here involved with the average
political lawyer. He can see nothing
wrong in serving Jay Gould and Hunting
ton at the same time that he is supposed
to be serving the people, and no amount
